Rachel Gilmour, MP for Tiverton and Minehead

Last week at the Public Accounts Committee, I asked the CEO of Capita Public Services, Richard Holyroyd, whether, as former member of the Armed Services, he would fall on his sword, and take accountability for the systemic and total failures of the administration of the Civil Service Pension Scheme.

Back in September 2025, I raised the fact that reports were in the media, commenting on Peter Mandelson having failed his DV clearance checks. Today, I asked the PM why he and hi...

Rural domestic abuse is underreported and under-addressed. Last week I asked the Minister what the Government is doing to tackle the unique pressures rural victims face, and called for a special committee to address the issue.
This morning I led a debate on the future of community pharmacies. I know how much community pharmacies matter, especially in a rural area like ours. They are often the most accessible part of the NHS, and for many people, they are the first place they turn when something is wrong. #Somerset #Devon
On the Public Accounts Committee, we often hear incredibly long answers when a short one in plain English will suffice. Yesterday was emphatically one of those occasions when we were questioning the Ministry of Defence on their Annual Accounts. Here's one of my q's to the MoD. #Parliament #MoD
Across Tiverton and Minehead, only 30% of premises have full fibre - that's just 2,500 businesses - meaning many residents are still missing out on the benefits. Check the link here (openreach.com/fibre-checker) to see what fibre options are available at your address!

Last week, I hosted a Westminster Hall debate on International Parental Child Abduction. This hits families in Tiverton and Minehead hard. Hundreds of children are taken from the UK by a parent every year, and the legal framework meant to bring them home is not working. #Parliament #MP
Two-thirds of jobs in West Somerset depend on the visitor economy. Cathy in Porlock has seen her takings halve in a year. Paul, an antique dealer 10 miles inland in Dulverton, is down 70%. When the coast goes quiet, the whole area feels it.
Last week during parliamentary recess I was in Malawi with the charity Results UK, looking at the education of young children and learning about farming out there too. So much that stayed with me, and plenty to bring home. 📚🚜
Since November, my team and I have been working behind the scenes to try to convince the Somerset NHS, and the Government, to make the temporary MRI and CT Scanners at Minehead Hospital permanent. We've raised it with the Minister, and the Chair, but to no avail - there 'isn't enough demand'. 1/
Trump to NYT's David Sanger: "I had a total military victory. But the fake news, guys like you, write incorrectly. You're a fake guy. A total military victory. I actually think it's sort of treasonous what you write. You should be ashamed of yourself. I actually think it's treason."
